Our tour guide was really friendly and full of life, but certainly not worth paying $14 to see pictures on a wall in a tunnel. There was no real substance to the tour, and while our tour guide admitted the facts were sketchy at best, I really felt like I was ripped off. The humor was crude (certainly not appropriate for children under 12) and the tour was very repetitive. It reminded me of walking upstairs and downstairs through unfinished, dirty basements. The pictures on the wall were the only added value to the tour, and considering they could easily be seen in any textbook, it's a waste of 90 minutes to walk through musty, dark, cobweb-filled hallways. People in my party and those around us kept commenting that they should have left after the first (of three) drops below the ground, it seemed like we were waiting for some fantastic view or historical area and in the end we ended up very confused, in a gift shop (of course). While they say it's not recommended for children under 7, I say it's just not recommended, period.

I take Pictures for the tour and i have a blast. The tour guides are all really fun! It definitely has some great history of Seattle. the underground is a little musty but you do go up (outside) for fresh air. Its definitely something you should check out if your from Seattle or not. if your over 21 i suggest checking out the Underworld tour as it goes a little deeper into Seattle's more seedy past. But the normal tour is an all ages tour but they recommend not to bring children under 7 on the tour because it is 90 minutes and they can't always take it. You can't even imagine how many kids and babies want out as soon as they step into the underground between it being gross and dark and scary down there to them. But its definitely something anyone should check out!

It seemed much larger years ago... Recently, I went with some out-of-towner's, explaining that it would help them to understand Seattle, to help them feel familiar quickly. But as I listened to the stories of how politicians made decisions in Seattle 100 years ago, I realized that the stories told by the guides are apropos and analogous to the way that our City Council and others do their thinking today! There is a lot of history in this musty tourist-trap, and I recommend that everybody here pay attention, and go through once -- like pleasing your mother by tasting a dish that both of you know you will hate. It may only be at a later date that you figure out what I meant, and why this is useful.

If you've never been on Seattle underground tour, you're missing out! This is a fascinating little slice of Seattle's history that many people don't even know about. I've been several times - I think this is a must for out of town visitors - and as a resident, I always enjoy it as well! The tour guides are hysterical - and knowledgable, and they make the tour interesting and fun. This is not suitable for young children - or anyone who can't manage many, steep stairs.

I've been on the Underground City Tour twice now, 10 years apart. And it seems like the same material to me. But you should definitely bring out of town visitors to this attraction because it gives some seriously interesting info on Seattle's history. Walking around below the current city is amazing, and the tour keeps you interested throughout. The story is compelling and it's definitely worth a trip down below.
